Just like with [[No$|No$GBA]], there are likely to be bugs to come with the speed. Please expand if you see anything broken. Posting bug reports to the author could also help later on.

There's also ===Plans for open-source release===DraStic has always been plans closed-source, which has given people mixed feelings with some even going as far as to suspect that devs may be plagiarizing or breaking some kind of licensing (though no known evidence has turned up to support either claims), however it has slowly began to open up with it being ported to other ARM platforms like the Raspberry Pi. For a long time, the topic about open-sourcing DraStic has been debated, with the primary reasons being:*It doesn't make DraStic sense to sell the app if the source was available (though a premium version ''a la'' PPSSPP Gold isn't out of the question if one wants to financially support the project)*Fear of hydra-like copycats flooding the market trying to cash in, typically forking the app ''verbatim'' and adding nothing new other than a different branding and intrusive in-app advertising, in extreme cases even getting in the way of the app itself. Given the somewhat anarchic nature of Google Play and greedy script kiddies flooding the market with low-quality shovelware and nominal "games" which were nothing more than adware being passed off as "Grand Theft Auto" or some other popular title, this has been the fate of various open-sourceprojects for Android. Some DraStic community members have proposed a somewhat restricted but source-available license in the vein of [[FinalBurn Alpha]], but not until as this would at least in theory give the developers even better legal footing against unauthorised forks. It's long been accepted that if it were to ever be open-sourced that it would be when development has ended/when they stopped selling it adds , however this may be happening soon(™️). Right now the devs are trying to polish support for 64-bit<ref name="arm64">[https://drastic-ds.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5501 DraStic releases r2release 2.5.1.1a]</ref> and other compatability issues with Android before calling it ready to open-source. This is projected to happen sometime in the future, however in the meantime they may continue to release more ports on other ARM-based systems<ref name="update"> [https://drastic-ds.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5501&sid=34f924a7b66083e2b73eebeee281f36d5680 Status update on next release, 64-bit and the future]</ref> since . However as the emulator runs worse with each subsequent version of Android and Exophase is requiring all apps absent from the official DraStic forum forcing users to attempt to find workarounds to support 64-bit by August 2019. More will keep the software they bought at the best working state as possible, it might be mentioned by spring of 2019 implied that Exophase is not interested in terms of progressthis emulator anymore and open-sourcing may never happen, but if things aren't going well, Exophase may "consider especially as he did not open sourcing so up the source code in 2020 despite announcing it can be tasked to others".

Nvidia TEGRA 2-based devices (including the Xoom and some versions of the Galaxy S2) and Intel x86-based devices will not work properly with this emulator. You may be able to run DraStic on a an Intel-based Zenfone, for one, but don't expect any miracles due to them being on an Atom. You will need a reasonably powerful (hopefully multi-core) ARM device for games to work full speed.  In addition, an update for devices running on ColorOS, e.g. those from Oppo and Realme, broke compatibility for DraStic and thus causing it to crash. A fix for this issue is currently in the works though. Tested devices:*'''Nexus 4''': Full speed in tested games: Mario Kart, Super Scribblenauts, and Advance Wars: Dual Strike. (Scribblenauts is Scribblenauts is too difficult to play without a gamepad, though)
